Stability is one of the main issue for the steel frame design. Besides, it would be very complex to deal with especially multi bays, multi storey real structures. Prior to the AISC 2005, stability analysis was generally conducted with Effective Length Method, although it has several inapplicability and limitations. However, together with the AISC 2005, a new stability analysis design approach, Direct Analysis Method, was taken the place of the specification. The aim of this study was to assess Stability Analysis Methods defined in different American specifications, AISC ASD 1989, AISC LRFD 1999, AISC 360-05 and AISC 360-10. These stability analysis methods were researched according to the Specifications as well as in available technical literature, and then were evaluated by their usage and limitations. To achieve this aim, five analytical models were investigated using the Effective Length Method and the Direct Analysis Method according to Allowable Strees Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). The first model was a one bay, one story portal frame with X brace, second model was also a one bay, one story portal frame with K brace, third model was a three bay, one story portal frames with interior bay X brace, fourth model was a two vi bay, two story portal frames with X braces and fifth model was a one bay, one story portal frame without any brace. Additionally, to illustrate the effect of column orientation on stability methods, some columns were oriented by their weak axis bending. Finally, an incremental increase and decrease of load values were applied to the first model to examine the effect of loads.

A Comparative study on direct analysis method and effective length method in one-story semi-rigid frames Demirtaş, Afşin Emrah; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) For steel structures, stability is a very important concept since many steel structures are governed by stability limit states. Therefore, stability of a structure should be assessed carefully considering all parameters that affect the stability of the structure. The most important of these parameters can be listed as geometric imperfections, member inelasticity and connection rigidity. Geometric imperfections and member inelasticity are taken into account with the stability method used in the design. At th...
Earthquake performance of un-stiffened thin steel plate shear walls Mörel, Osman Fuat; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In this study two dimensional steel frames, reinforced with un-stiffened thin steel panels, are investigated. In the first part of the study, the strip model, a method for analyzing un-stiffened thin steel plate shear walls, was investigated. Sensitivity studies to investigate the influence of the number of strip members to be used to in the strip model and their angle of inclination were conducted. In the second part, responses of various un-stiffened steel plate shear wall systems to lateral loads were in...
Susceptibility of mid-rise and high-rise steel moment resisting frame buildings to the nonlinear behavior of beam-column connections Bayraktar, Murat; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) Moment resistinting steel frames provide significant energy dissipation capacity in the event of a major seismic excitation. In order to ensure this, one of the most critical regions to pay attention is the beam-column connections, where their behavior is greatly simplified and idealized for the purpose of design in practice. In this thesis, the variables inherent in steel connections are taken into account through a parametric study by considering both static push-over analysis and nonlinear time history a...
Displacement amplification factors for steel eccentrically braced frames Kusyilmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem (2015-02-01) Inelastic deformation capacity of links is a factor that significantly influences design of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The link rotation angle is used to describe inelastic link deformation. The link rotation angle is generally calculated by making use of design story drifts that in turn are calculated by modifying the elastic displacements by a displacement amplification factor. This paper presents a numerical study undertaken to evaluate the displacement amplification factor given in ASCE7-...
Lateral buckling of overhanging crane trolley monorails Ozdemir, Kerem Murat; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01) Lateral torsional buckling should be taken into account during the design of overhanging steel beams. One special type of overhanging beam is the crane trolley monorail. Lateral buckling of overhanging monorails under idealized loading and boundary conditions has been studied in the past using classical mathematical procedures. This paper aims to present a detailed investigation of overhanging monorails using finite element analysis. Effects of different loading and boundary conditions were studied in detai...
